Did you know even before you missed a period that you were pregnant?

[taradorff]

Do some woman have like a 6th sense about knowing even before ur 1st missed period and a test? Im struggling with should I know? I dont feel like anythings different but I'm afaid to get my hopes up.

[Mamalicious]

I knew both times, although I was in denial the first time :o and the second time I knew but was afraid of jinxing it as it was our first go trying. :o

[SurpriseBubba]

Yup with all three.... even though number 3 was not planned.... I just knew something was up!

[Kittylou]

With the first I had no idea. Even when AF was late, I didn't believe that could be why - probably a bit of denial like Mamalicious. With DD, I knew a week before AF was due (well, suspected) because my boobs were huge and really sore. We weren't trying either time although with DD we planned to start trying the following month.

[Tam-I-Am]

Not with my first - but definitely with my 2nd. I knew for a week before the HPTs would come up positive :) In fact, I 'knew' nearly from the moment that we conceived...

[taradorff]

how did you know? just a feeling? or did u have systoms that u knew?

[Tam-I-Am]

With my 2nd...we'd DTD at the 'right' time which I knew. And I just felt 'different' - so I guess it was more a feeling than anything. I didn't get any morning sickness until a week after the pregnancy was confirmed on HPT and by blood test - but my breasts were noticably bigger and sorer before then.

The most notable symptom for really was lack of a period though - I ovulate really late in my cycle. With Connor I ovulated on day 24 of a 31 day cycle - so when I was only technically a week past ovulation, my period was already absent...that was a dead giveaway.

[Mamalicious]

With DS I refused to test until I was 6 weeks pregnant...a couple of days before I tested I was walking home from tech and thinking to myself

Am I pregnant? and if I said YES it felt true and if I said NO it felt like I was lying to myself...

All the way home...am I pregnant? Do I want this baby? Am I pregnant? Do I want this baby?

By then my boobs were agony too and HUGE!!!! and I'd been feeling sick, but all that aside it was just a feeling, I knew I was pregnant.

This time...a part of me was thinking, well if I can fall pregnant on the pill then I can fall pregnant off the pill :o plus I had cramping from 4dpo and sore boobs a couple of days after that.

So this time I just didn't think it would be reasonable to fall pregnant on the pill and then not conceive when we weren't using contraception. :laughing:

[SpaghettiMummy]

Not with DS but I did with my DDs.

DD1 - I knew basically from conception
DD2 - I actually thought we'd missed the boat so didn't have my hopes up but the day before AF was due I was eating something weird for me for dinner and had been craving it for a few days so I cautiously 'knew' from that and went and tested and sure enough BFP!!

ETA: No I don't think you should just 'know' I think I was more in tune with my body after DS for just knowing with DD1 was I guess mroe being keenly aware and atuned to it. But I honestly had no idea with DS.

[melbryan]

I told myself I couldn't possibly be because we had one month of TTC. I had alot of toilet runs but nothing else, just thought I had a UTI.
On day AF was to arrive I got up and POAS and I wasn't surprised it showed 2 lines.

[~mia&ryan~]

Yep I just somehow knew both times. So did DH.:goodvibes::goodvibes:

[GraceUnhearing]

sure did both times.
i tested the day my period was due.

i knew 3 days after dtd that i was pregnant due to horrible cramping and i dont get cramping

[SalTheGal]

We have just started TTC this month, and we only DTD once- but it was at the exact right time- so the chances are very real....but thus for the last week I have been reading into every symptom I have, but I *feel* like I could be, but I am also telling myself I am setting myself up for a big letdown if I let myself get too carried away.

For my first I had NO idea!! But we weren't even trying then, so the thought of it wasn't on my radar...so even if I did have any symptoms I wouldn't have made the connection (I was on the pill so didn't even think there was a chance!)

The Month I fell, I was ABSOLUTLY Positive I was NOT Pregnant.. I had a shocking cycle, thrush, very little BD.. I only tested because people here were starting to get their hopes up 4 me, and I wanted to let them know I was out 4 sure..
Tested on work lunch break and nearly forgot to look at the stick B4 I went back:laughing: I was so in shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Littleyorkshirepudding]

Yes - I definitely knew with no 2 probably from the moment of conception - how? well with DD we were trying but weren't if you get my drift as our wedding coming up, but I knew my fertile time and we DTD around that time and for 2 weeks I suffered these bad annoying headaches, I've never suffered from headaches before and these were annoying to the point I went to the Dr's about them, she advised it was tension headaches caused by work etc and it was only when I went back to see her a week later with a positive HPT that she looked at my notes and went aaahhhh the headaches now we know what caused those so.....

.... when trying for no 2, first month of trying, we DTD around what I thought was my fertile time, I remembered we DTD on the Wednesday and by Saturday I had this headache again, the exact same headache as I had had with DD and I just knew, I just knew we conceived, this time the headaches didn't last as long so I didn't want to get my hopes up plus I had convinced myself I'd Ovulated later than I thought and therefore missed the egg this month, but the headaches I had were the give away I was so sure and 10 days later we got a positive HPT and now I'm 28 weeks pregnant.

All the other pregnancy symptoms came in due course as the pregnancy progressed.

[library-laksa]

i knew because my boobs felt different and i started falling asleep all the time :)

i tested before AF was due.

[Nomsie]

We had been TTC for 11 months and each month I would get my hopes up reading into every little sign but nothing ever came of it. By the time we did conceive, I was in the frame of mind that yes AF would come, and that would be ok.

The day AF was due, I was doing the shopping, and instead of buying tampons, I bought a test kit. I don't know why, and I don't even think I consciously realised I was doing it. But obviously SOMETHING inside me knew.

The only physical change to give me any indication was that normally about a week or so before af, I usually got achey knees, and they had been absent, but I thought nothing of it.

(Oh, and about a week before I tested I had a dream I was UTD, but I had forgotten all about that until about a month later...)

[mizmiz]

Sorry no 6th sense here....but DH knew with all three pregnancies.

I knew about our M/c before anything was wrong.

[Mummaholic]

I definitely knew both times

[tootiredtosleep]

I really knew when I was nearly sick cutting up raw chicken for dinner. I tested 2 days after that, just before AF was due.

[susmamma]

I always think I'm preggas (drives DH nuts).
As soon as I'm late I'm like "OH GOD I"M PREGNANT!" (even if we're not trying at the time).

(in my defence I have been pregnnt 6 times so it's not like i'm not a fertile bvgger!)

However every time we have officially tried to get pregnant I've tested a week before AF was due and have always got a BFP. I couldnt say I was any more or less sure I was pregnant than the other times I could have sworn I was pregnant but wasnt.

I think I must be as about in tune with my body as a lump of rock.

:laughing:

(actually that's not strictly true. every pregnancy I have had a dream tell me I was pregnant before I POAS to confirm it... so at the very least my subconscious is intune even if my conscious body isnt!)
